50 solid hours of red dead redemption

this was from a while ago, but it still makes for a good read. we’ve probably all, at some point, logged 50 hours of rockstar games’ red dead redemption, but 50 solid hours? yeah… i don’t know about the rest of you, but i get really uncoordinated after a while if i’m tired. and sometimes, even in the midst of battle, i just plain fall asleep. it’s not narcolepsy; it just happens when you are tired.

anyway, there’s this group of gamers in the netherlands who broke the world record for most hours of video game playing. mind you, they were also trying to promote a product, so it’s another case of ‘mixed bag’. here’s a snippet from the original article:

The six Dutch gamers began playing Rockstar’s new wild West game ” Red Dead Redemption” on PlayStation 3 machines starting Friday night in Rotterdam. The players, all between the ages of 22 and 36,were brothers Edward and Maykel Leest, Sven de Vries, Renzo Bos, Robbie van Eijkeren and Marcel van Waardenburg.
